Alert Log

NOTE: If the Alert log displays invalid XML data (for example, when the XML data generated for the selection is not well formed), click Clear Log and then redisplay the log information.
NOTE: The size of the alert log file is limited. To capture maximum alert logs, enable all the operating system log filters.

Use the Alert log to monitor various system events. The Server Administrator generates events in response to changes in the status of sensors and other monitored parameters. Each status change event recorded in the Alert log consists of a unique identifier called the event ID for a specific event source category and an event message that describes the event. The event ID and message uniquely describe the severity and cause of the event and provide other relevant information such as the location of the event and the monitored component's previous state.

To access the Alert log, click System, click the Logs tab, and click Alert.

Information displayed in the Alert log includes:

  • The severity level of the event
  • The event ID
  • The date and time that the event was captured
  • The category of the event
  • A description of the event
NOTE: The log history may be required for future troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes. Therefore, it is recommended that you save the log files.
NOTE: OMSA may send duplicate SNMP traps or log duplicate events in the Alert Log page or in the operating system log file. The duplicate traps and events are logged either when OMSA services are manually restarted or when the device sensor still indicates a non-normal state when OMSA services starts after an operating system reboot.

For detailed information about alert messages, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
